Suggestions:

Something I learned from the Evo Desktop PC is to set up a dedicated "Desktop" screen for phone display mirroring. When setting up a "Desktop" screen , arrange your icons and widgets in landscape so they format/look correct.

Play with VTL.Launcher a little bit, but to give you a quick start I've attached my VTL config.

Nice! I've had problems with all stock-based roms I've tried so far. I'm looking forward to trying this!

Also, bootstrap/4G locked compatible?

Can someone explain this rom to me like I'm dumb (which I am)?

Can you still do PRL updates with them or does this not matter anymore?

Can you load it on a locked bootloader, will 4G work with this rom?

What are the advantages of running this over stock?

How do I go about installing it?

I'm guessing since it's is titled "(Unlocked)" it can be installed through CWM (Clockwork Mod) which can only be installed with an Unlocked Bootloader and since you stated that you have a 'locked bootloader' I dont think you can use this Rom...yet? I could be wrong tho...someone please feel free to correct me on this. but i hope this helps you out a little bit!
